A Good Host
rNE of the nicest thoughts brought
back by those attending the re
cent annual convention of Oregon
Wool Growers convention was the
genuine hospitality extended by the
people of Burns. The thought has
been expressed by all who attended
from this district and must have
been in the minds of all who made
the long drive to reach the Harney
county metropolis.
By nature of its setting, Burns is
still a frontier town. It is the capital
of a broad expanse of territory
where livestock raising is the ma
jor industry. Boots and spurs and
the cowboy hat are still much in
evidence and life in the open breeds
that type of hospitality of which
the old west has boasted since the
earliest settlement. It is the life the
people live in that land of wide open
spaces. They are set apart by great
distances and when neighbor meets
neighbor it is an occasion for ex
tending genuine hospitality. Is it
any wonder, then, that when their
distant neighbors from out over the
state assemble in their little city
that they extend the hand of hospi
tality? It would be more to their
liking to say, "help yourself, the
treat's on us," but conventions are
not and can not be run that way.
But thev did the next best thing
they maintained regular rates and
extended every courtesy at their
command to make their guests com
fortable.
There was little in a commercial
sense for the host city to gain. The
big thing they did gain was a lot of
eood friends who will long remem
ber the pleasant visit had in the
modern town with the frontier set
ting.

What A Second
Helping Means
TT is such a little thing, a second
helping of butter, yet when in
dulged in bv the nation at large it
becomes of momentous importance.
We are indebted to the bulletin ot
the Orecon Denartment of Agricul
ture for this thought and for the
statement that a second helping ot
lrotter is the right answer to the
surplus problem.
Read what the bulletin has to
say: "More and more creamerymen
and dairymen are learning that
quality in butter means everything
today. In fact, it is the right answer
to the surplus problem. For who
can resist a second helping of real
ly good butter? That second help
ing alone will boost the annual con
sumption of butter in this country
200,000,000 pounds, which someone
has figured would be enough to pre
vent a surplus for years to come.
Quality cream spells fine butter and
fine butter in turn means higher
markets."
Continuing the plea for better
quality cream the article points out
some of the factors which make for
poor quality: Milkers with wet, un
clean hands; cows with dirty flanks
and udders; milk pails not properly
cleaned; not straining milk before
separating; dirty separator; not
cooling properly and promptly;
mixing warm cream with cold
cream; not keeping cream cooled
from farm to market, and failure
to deliver cream at least every other
dav- ..
One way to produce quality
cream, states the bulletin, is to take
immediate care of the situations
outlined above. Quality cream will
mean more money in the producer's
pocket for it commands a better
price.

Development of Student Interest
in Civic Affairs
By Dorothy Guthrie,
Lexington High School
Young people have a great im
agination and they have many useful
ideas that we should listen to. Any
student would be interested in civic
affairs if he were taught that he,
as an individual, has suggestions
that are as important as those of
the members of the community who
run it. For if it were not for the
students of today our state, our na
tion would lose her ideals. It is nec
essary to teach them that no matter
how small the idea, it can be of
great use to helping his community
to a better government. Therefore,
if he has any dislike toward the
community for its actions and had
not offered suggestions to make the
action better, then he has nothing
to complain about.
All this can not be left up to the
student to acquire for himself, but
he needs help from his school and
from his home. These things can
be shown him all through his school
career. To teach the student his val
ue to the community is a necessary
but difficult task. There are so
many things that the young person
can do, but lie fails to realize that
he has any worthwhile part at all.
With the help of ideas and an en
thusiastic leader interest can be
aroused. An important thought is
to give the pupils an opportunity to
find out what the community needs
most. Then will come, for' instance,
the idea that safety is a necessity
for every community. The students
then can invetigate the houses for
fire prevention methods and then
carry on a campaign to get the in
terest of the community. Or this
interest may lead to the study of ac
cident prevention in the home and
efforts to receive the parents' co
operation. If one were living in a
community where forest fire were
prevalent, the boys would find the
prevention of forest fires of great
interest and utility.
Every one likes to see improve
ments in their town. Every student
will always add his suggestions for
the town's needs; then the next
thing is to have him follow up his
idea and see that it turns out the
way he believes it should. Students
will turn to activities such as clean
ing snow from sidewalks, cleaning
vacant lots for play grounds, plant
ing shade trees, making containers
for trash, or naming streets. None
of these ideas are beyond any young
person's accomplishment. The health
of the community may be endang
ered, and a group could get to
gether to find out the cause of the
trouble. Together the young people
would make a survey of the health
conditions. This would lead to
checking up on the garbage collec
tion of the city, finding how the
streets are cleaned and how the
waste receptacles are provided. By
obtaining this knowledge and pre
senting it to the higher authorities
so they can begin work at the most
logical point to prevent disease.
There is still another phase of
civil affairs that should be brought
to, the notice of young people, that
of making them realize how the
town is governed. A splendid way
to make them realize this is to give
each a duty; they all meet together
and take over the affairs of the
town for a day. This will teach them
how to appreciate and help their
town. Another interest that will
keep them busy is to turn over the
town paper and take charge of the
news for a day. They would have
charge of all duties from the editor
to the reporter and also the printing
of the paper. That way they get a
better idea of how i is handled.
All this carried up to its farthest
point will teach any young person
to enjoy his community that much
more when he can feel that he is
actually a part of his community
and is helping to make it run as
smoothly as possible.

Book About Oregon
Birds to be Printed
The first comprehensive bird two
of Oregon, a state unusually rich
in bird life, will soon be published
at Oregon state college as a co
operative project of the United
States bureau of biological survey
and the college.
"The Birds of Oregon" by Ira M.
Gabrielson, chief of the bureau of
biological survey, and Stanley G.
Jewett, superintendent of the Mal
heur migratory bird refuge, will
contain more than 700 pages and
approximately 2 0 0 illustrations.
Many of these illustrations are from
photographs by Dr. William L. Fin-
ley, Oregon naturalist, while most
of the others are by the authors.
The book contains research and
field work of approximately 36
years on the part of Superintendent
Jewett, and at least 20 years on the
part of Dr. Gabrielson. The actual
writing was done by Gabrielson, who
was located in Oregon for nearly
20 years, during which he was offi
cially associated with the extension
service at the college in connection
with his work for the bureau of
biological survey. Active cooper
ation in preparing this record of
Oregon bird life has also been given
by the National museum, the Oregon
state game commission, the state
fish commission, and many indiv
idual scientists.
The book is being published by the
Oregon State college monographs
committee, with the O. S. C. Coop
erative Book store handling dis
tribution and sales. It will be en
tirely an Oregon product, as Port
land firms are making the cuts and
doing Hhe printing and binding. An
expensive book to publish, it will be
priced as near cost as possible.
Among the illustrations will be a
zone map of Oregon showing all
of the bird refuges. The text will
include a history of Oregon ornith
ology, a description of bird life as a
whole, and a complete check list of
the birds of Oregon.
The authors havfe collaborated
during the past eight years in the
final preparation of the volume. The
college monographs committee has
sponsored the publication in order
to insure the preservation and dis
tribution of research which could
never again be duplicated, accord
ing to Dr. E. C. Gilbert, chairman
of the committee.

Beer's "clean-up or close-up" pro
